Born the son of English immigrant William Hibbs Jr., the progenitor of the Hibbs family line in the United States, and Joanne _______[unknown]. Joseph was likely born in Byberry Township, near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Joseph's siblings, all born in Byberry Twp., Pennsylvania, to my knowledge, were Jonathon (b. unknown); Sarah (b. unknown); Phoebe (b. 1697); Jacob (b. 1699); William III (b. 1700); Jeremiah (b. unknown); and Hannah (b. unknown).
In 1714, Joseph married his first wife, Rachel _____ [surname unknown]. On Oct. 15, 1749, he married wife #2, the widower Mrs. Catherine Love.
Because Rachel was not a Quaker, Joseph was eventally expelled from the Quaker Church in 1716, two years after their marriage. A source I have states: "He returned to the Quaker Church in 1734 and apologized for his acts. He was a landowner in Byberry Township in 1723. He was a constable in Bucks County in 1728" ("Hibbs Genealogy: July 24, 1984" by Margaret Hibbs Brokaw.)
Joseph had fourteen children by Rachel, and three by Catherine:

Elizabeth Roberts); Abraham (b. 1742).
